Help[Opinions] Re: Hating Nicknames
in reply to a message by LMS (nsi)
I don't think Alice would have any problem with NN's. I know an Alice, and she never gets called anything else.
I seriously know what you mean, though. Usually I don't like nicknames, but I've started to like them more because I love Russian names the best now and their diminutives are SO CUTE. I had a problem when I was really young because I loved the name Emmanuel but hated Manny. I don't like either now. Now, I'm having the same problem, but with Dmitri. I don't really like the sound of Mitya and it feels weird saying it. It seems sometimes like Russian soft T's should only be in verbs. I'm trying to like Dima, but it's slow going since I have a kind of strong association with it and then there's the fact that it's feminine in Arabic...
The nickname problem is such a pain, no?
